Looks like Finland-Russia will be the battle in the relay, with Sweden in third and Norge fighting with the US for fourth best. :p

Not sure how Russia is fighting for gold, but not Norway/Sweden and how you didn't even mention Germany in the fight for 4th ...

This time it seems rather open, Finland/Russia/Sweden/Norway could all win gold and Germany/USA could surprise for a medal.

Just one lipstick between 1st/2nd and 3rd/4th, resp.

 

Really good result by Hennig, missing 3rd place by only 12 sec.

Also Katherine Sauerbrey deserves to be mentioned here. Her second TOP 15 results at the Olympics after having only a few World Cup starts. That is really great and means that Germany has a second good skier for the Classic part of the relay. If we only a had a second good Freestyle skier :p

It will probably be about hiding Fraebel/whoever on the second leg. In the end it will be the same as always for german cross-country skiing: "Außer Spesen nichts gewesen"

Yeah, Sweden will have Sundling and Dahlqvist and it's only 5 km (when it should be 7.5 really), so they probably have a better chance, than what i initially gave them. Norway is piss poor and Johaug can't do much in 5 km, so Germany does have a good shot to beat them.

:NOR in 44th place in Olympics cross-country skiing, a couple of years ago even impossible sci-fi

You don't have to go back too far to find similar results. In 2010 two norwegians finished 41st and 42nd in men's 15 km freestyle and a norwegian also finished 49th in women's 10 km freestyle.

    • Imagine being the UEFA/FIFA official tasked with burning his hands on this never-ending fire     Go for a home match without fans for both Romania and Kosovo and then get on with life.
    • Dutch Winter Olympics is all about speedskating and shorttrack.    In shorttrack we have a problem since Suzanne Schulting (3 times Olympic Champion) broke her ankle this year. After since it looks like she concentrates on speedskating on the long track. But in that sport she is not really that good. For shorttrack we have medal chances for Xandra Velzeboer on the 500 meters and Jens van 't Wout on the men's distances, although Danjinou from Canada is in a league of his own.   In speedskating we have several medal chances, but I'm expecting not that much gold, considering Jordan Stolz (500/1000/1500) and Davide Ghiotto (5000/10000) winning the gold medals on the classic distances almost for sure. There will be some silver and bronze on the men's side however (Patrick Roest (5000), Kjeld Nuis (1500), Tim Prins (1000) and maybe Jenning de Boo (500)).   On the women's side there is Miho Takagi (1000/1500) and Ragne Wiklund (3000/5000) and the Canadian women. But also chances for Dutch gold with Jutta Leerdam (1000), Joy Beune (1500/3000), Marijke Groenewoud (mass/3000) and Merel Conijn (5000). Unless Leerdam will continue travelling with Jake Paul and focus on her boyfriend's stupid influence-career more than on her own career.    2 medals in short track, 10 medals in speedskating, but not many golden!
    • Yes, you're right. But the point is that the private sporting agency supersedes national law on this subject. 
    • It was assistent coach and former player Adam Szalai. He was brought to the locker room to rest up a bit, and then was taken away by ambulance, but without much haste: other than being somewhat groggy, it seems like he was getting better.

    • Looks like the person has been taken away, hopefully in relatively ok condition, and we're continuing the match.
    • nice (curious) description of what happened  
    • no, since Vlhova is still out, there were 2 girls tied for 7th in the start list, so the first group was expanded to 8 just for Today (and Miki was "unlucky" and grabbed the bib no.8)
    • Things have gone horribly wrong in the Netherlands - Hungary match. Someone from the Hungarian dugout started shaking and becoming very unwell, CPR has been or is being performed and the match has been suspended for a while now. No idea yet who it is (player, staff, no idea).
